Mapping of tree-clad area and assessment of Ecological status and bio-diversity outside forested area using Satellite data fusion and GIS Techniques Methodology Survey of the forested region using the satellite data is not a new concept now. However, the present study is carried out by using the Fusion technique of Satellite data of two sensors. IRS 1C / 1D LISS-III having 23 meter resolution fused with the PAN data of 5.8 meter resolution. The LISS-III and PAN fused data brings out the product in 5.8 meter spatial resolution in multi-spectral mode facilitating an easy interpretation of vegetation, road / canal side plantation, riverian plantation etc. which are the prime objectives of the study. The district boundaries were digitized and the LISS-III and PAN merged data of IRS- 1C/1D were Geo-Referenced with district mask and digitally interpreted for mapping the tree-clad areas of the district. Thus, digitally classified image was imported into GIS to integrate with attribute data and further processing like Action plan Generation for potential areas for New Plantation, Area calculations, etc. Finally, ground verification was carried out for accuracy checking.
